Hello Everyone
I’m sooo scared. I had a mammogram 2.5 weeks ago - this was my second routine one. My first one was 3 years ago. When I got home on Friday I found a letter waiting for me to say I needed further testing. They had booked me in for the 1st available appt which was tomorrow. I rang them on Friday and said I couldn’t manage as I run a clinic too and it was too late to cancel my patients. I was told that I would need to speak to one of the radiologists and that they were all in a meeting but someone would ring me back. Time went on and still no phone call, so I called again, only to be told this time that they were all in clinic and I’d probably get a call back on Monday.
I waited until 1pm yesterday, still nothing, so I rang them again to be told they were all in clinic. However, they rang me back later and said I could go later on Wed, if that helped. Then she asked me if I’d be happy to wait and go in the New Year? I said yes, but I’d be worried sick, waiting all that time, so I’d be as well going later tomorrow. She then said, well “his” clinic finished early on a Wed, so 10.30 would be the latest that I could go.
So the question is, who is “he” - does that mean I’m not just going back for another mammogram, but something else??
I keep trying to convince myself that it’s because I’ve lost a lot of weight, or that it’s because I’m post menopausal (I"m 54)
But then I start to cry. The hospital is quite far away from where I live and I have to drive myself there as I’ve told my partner or my family as I don’t want to ruin their Xmas. It’s like a bad dream.
